Overview
A Warranty Disclaimer Addendum is an attachment to a Bill of Sale, Purchase Agreement, Rental Agreement, or Item Condition Report. It reinforces that the item is being transferred without warranties, and that the buyer or user accepts the item “as‑is.” This addendum provides an extra layer of protection by making the disclaimer a formal part of the contract.
Use this addendum when you need to:
- Add a warranty disclaimer to an existing agreement

- Ensure the buyer acknowledges the “as‑is” condition in writing
